They Call This A Mini?

[@rodneypearson6986]

Sold my full-size auto but the mini I've been hard using it since the release the coating on the blade is wearing but the knife it's self is a beast keep it Kev ✌🏻

[@lfish21.]

As a lefty I really enjoy axis lock knives. I’d love to pick an mini Adamas up. Something about the style of it actually looks pretty cool.

[@marsjam4117]

Mine was a little rough out of the box. 5 days later, of opening and closing the knife repeatedly and it is now perfect and smooth action. I didnt adjust anything

[@shaunharrison9618]

Polish the washers and locktite the pivot once you get drop shut action. Polish the washers makes a HUGE difference. 10 figure 8s on the strop is all you need and some KPL.

Shane Sibert design , his customs are bananas, thanks for video Lefty !

[@toddcarr.]

Definatly a great work knife and although not the best for fidgeting the axis lock will hold up really well against hard use. Thanks for the look see Kevin and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable

[@deadvikingtrolls]

This burgundy is really nice but I'll have to settle for the magnamarblefiber one for looks and the black one as my favorite tough user.

[@deadvikingtrolls]

The ritter hogue in magnacut and green g-mascus is the harder edc knife I carried before I got my mini adamas, funny that knife showed up. Pound for pound I would say the ritter hogue is the best folding knife on the market. The ergonomics are objectively more comfortable than the mini adamas, even. But at the same time the ritter feels kind of boring. I prefer the mini adamas because I'm a cruwear fanboy and this is a slab of it and the knife looks more badass, almost like a more refined cold steel design.

I have this exact model. I used it to cut some blue styrofoam and some of the blue has rubbed off onto the blade making it a light shade of blue. Soap and water or alcohol won't take it off. Anybody have any ideas to get it back to normal??

[@deadvikingtrolls]

Not sure what might have happened since your original comment but acetone should do the job unless the cerokote absorbed the dye.

@@deadvikingtrolls Thanks! Well crazy enough I put some mineral oil on it and now it looks new again🤷🏼‍♂️

Love the color combo. Enjoy it while it lasts👍🏻

[@chrishinkle5982]

I like benchmade but I agree with the nitpicks it is kind of normality. Thanks for the video

[@jeremyspaulding7735]

This is one I definitely want to get. Great video 👍

[@limaball]

I got one in the going gear subscription in green and it's my workhorse. Keeper for sure

[@pixeljedi8472]

Got the full size auto off of a buddy! It’s definitely a super hard worker and cardboard killer!

[@jesseadams45]

This is one of the few new knives I've been eyeing.

[@shaunharrison9618]

🤣 I just ordered this knife too. It is home waiting for me when I get home from my work trip.

[@nativewildman9335]

Nice Benchmade! Thank you for sharing!

[@straydog8843]

How’s is an Axis lock more difficult to operate if your are left handed brother? the knife is mirrored on both sides… it’s the same for each hand 🤔

[@LeftyEDC]

Not if the clip isn’t reversed. Im guessing that is what i meant when i said whatever it is i said. Clip comes on the right side. So i probably said something about it being more difficult until i reverse the clip over. But yes they are the same once u flip the clip

[@LeftyEDC]

And it’s because of when u disengage the lock u use ur fingers on the clip to get stability/leverage for pulling the lock tabs down

[@MrTHORN74]

Best way to open an axis lock is by pulling the axis open and flicking the blade open ....I never use the thumbstuds

[@timothyhahn1181]

I Really Want That Limited Edition Benchmade!!! 👀🔥

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

Shane Sibert LoL Matt??!!??

[@LeftyEDC]

I said Matt or Shane? Idk. hahai

[@willb7713]

I think the only Benchmade I'd really want would be the Crooked River

[@martinmiller1087]

@Will B ... The Crooked River was very atteactive to me too. I love a big clip point. Even though I don't care much for aluminum bolsters, I bought the larger one. In my hand, it's a lttle awkward to manipulate the opening and closing. I have to always reposition my hand. I find it extremely annoying. I still like the knife, but never carry it daily. ... I've handled the Mini Crooked River. I have no problem with my hand position or manipulating the Axis Lock on it. I've not bought one, but consider the Mini to be better for my needs. ... I've now purchased 20 folders with Axis Locks. Several were gifted. ... The full size Crooked River is the only one to have given me problems with the opening and closing. It's nearly a two hand knife to me.

[@willb7713]

@@martinmiller1087 I don't actually own an axis lock. As for size, I carry a Hinderer XM-24 every day and use it, so that might tell you something. 👍

[@martinmiller1087]

@@willb7713 Hinderers are very nice. Congratulations. ... If I thought Chris Reeve's Sabenzas and Hinderers were worth the money, I'd own them too.

[@willb7713]

@@martinmiller1087 It was probably something I shouldn't have bought but couldn't resist when it came up. I wear gloves at work and it fits my hand very well.

[@PAZTWAIN]

I have both the crooked river and this, The mini Adamas is my fav edc currently. Just a perfect knife in my opinion. You won't regret picking one up.

[@chef_rockyc]

I have the Auto in Desert Warrior

[@chriswebb3018]

The mini is a great knife but didn't carry it until bgm put a regrind on it for me. Way to thick BTE for anything but opening Amazon packages or prying shit.

[@fishing4dollars705]

operating an ambidextrous knife is difficult for lefties?!? interesting!!

[@LeftyEDC]

Was the clip reversed? I can’t remember this far back haha. But that would be the reason unless it had nothing to do with it being ambi

Dope piece with a great ht! 👍 this is what most working men need! LIFETIME WARRENTY

Mine's in the mail now. They're sold out at most places guys. If you want this limited edition, don't dawdle. Going, going, ... ... I have zero use for Communist Chinese cutlery, no matter how kewl they are. ... The Chicoms just inked a deal that included naval basing rights with the Solomon Islands. ... During WWII, we invaded Guadalcanal in the eastern Solomons after the Japanese started building an airfield there. It's very close to Australia. If that airfield had gone active, it would have threatened the US/Australian ability to move freight and personnel, back and forth. A Chinese presence in the Solomons completely upsets the military balance in the southeast Pacific.
